Hi I live near Limassol.. I don't have kids but as I understand it your children can attend the free state schools But apparently they must have a certain standard of Greek to be admitted. Not sure if this is true.. otherwise the private sector will welcome you!! It is expensive and it does vary enormously (fees) so DO ask about because it is a big commitment once you get locked in. Might pay to ask while checking fees what their success rate is re exam results as (again) I have heard that standards can vary enormously here as do services included eg transport school bus can be pricey so look at locations in relation to where you will settle as you could save lots of dosh by doing the school run yourself or perhaps taking turns with other parents.. I know the fees for the American Academy were in excess of £3,000 per year a while ago and this doesn't include ancillaries like books bus food uniform etc be careful before committng..
